They did an Indiegogo Campain a few months back. It's not Epic, it's actually based of the rules for Exodus Wars' new game that should be released somewhat soon. The similarities do seem remarkable though, which makes me happy.

Myself and a few others on these boards are playtesters for this. The game is developed by a member here, based on the IP of a mini range, from a member here.

A quick discussion about my thoughts - I really, really like this game. It is shaping up to be something that I have wanted for a long time, but no-one has put out - a turn based, strategic wargame, putting the tabletop on the desktop. Its still in pre-alpha stages, but the gameplay is very intuitive and you are only presented with what you can actually do at that point. For example, click on a unit to select it and you get a series of circles, centred on the unit at different ranges. clicking on the map gives a move, and what circle your destination is inside gives the order for that unit. Then, click on a target to engage and click confirm. An entire formation directed in four clicks.

We will be hosting annoucements when things are in further developed stages, and having progress reports if I can convince Gr00ver to put something up.

Always happy to help. Hope you enjoy the game in its early state of development.

We should be shipping a new build in the not-too-distant future, so keep an eye on either our News page or forums on FracturedEmpire.net, not to mention Facebook and our newsletter, for a heads-up when that build is released.

And please feel free to share any feedback about the game you may have for us--positive and negative alike, all feedback is useful to us.
